The Casimir effect in a dispersive and absorbing multilayered system is considered adopting
the (net) vacuum-field pressure point of view to the Casimir force. Using the properties of the …

The Casimir-like size effect rises in ideal gases confined in a finite domain due to the wave
character of atoms. By considering this effect, thermodynamic properties of an ideal gas …

The term, propulsion breakthrough, refers to concepts like propellantless space drives and
faster‐than‐light travel, the kind of breakthroughs that would make interstellar exploration …

In this work we demonstrate, that in Casimir actuated nanodevices, geometry and charge
carriers concentration change the stability and the pull-in conditions that cause stiction. The …

We calculate the Casimir force or dispersive van der Waals force between a spherical
nanoparticle and a planar substrate, both with arbitrary dielectric properties. We show that …

In this article we compute the Casimir force between two finite-width mirrors at finite
temperature, working in a simplified model in 1+ 1 dimensions. The mirrors, considered as …

" Space drives,"" warp drives," and" wormholes:" these concepts may sound like science
fiction, but they are being written about in reputable journals. To assess the implications of …

To leap past the limitations of existing propulsion, the NASA Breakthrough Propulsion
Physics (BPP) Project seeks further advancements in physics from which new propulsion …

Calculations of the Casimir force are performed between parallel nonlocal excitonic
semiconductor slabs. Using a frequency and wave vector dependent dielectric response we …

We investigate the Casimir force F between two parallel semiconductor slabs taking into
account magnetoplasmon effects. For our calculations we consider an external magnetic …
